Hey everyone, my hd2 died (original 1.48 rom), I already tried soft reset, hard reset, put out my battery, charge it and everyhting that came to my mind but when i turn it on it wont go further than the first htc image.
Is there anything i cant do or should i just take it back to the shop?
Thanks
I would take it back, even if you do fix it. You don't want a phone that may still have a underlying problem.
Htc HD2 BRICK Need HELP!!!!!!!
I flashed Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.23554.5.5.0_1.72_Multi-Lang_6.5.5_Radio_2.07.51.22.2_V1.2_WWE into tmobile htc hd2 cause i was [email protected]$kin goin Rom happy and didnt double check its compatibility and my screen went blank black, cant power on, cant go into bootloader, and cant hard reset but when i plug it in to my computer it recognizes it as a device without a driver i saw it in the device manager on windows 7 ulitmate. CAN I SAVE MY HTC HD2??
I KILL my htc hd2 (BRICKED)
I used HSPL2_1024_RUN.exe i flashed like 5 roms within 24hrs i was trying them out and this one made killed my hd2.
for those stuck on the htc boot image
take off the back cover of the phone and press the little red button, this will restart the phone
AS SOON AS you press it, press and hold the volume down button this will bring you to the bootloader
connect the phone via usb to your computer and flash a different radio rom (look first which are compatible with your rom)
if this doesnt work, using the same method flash back to your original rom.

for tmous with 1gb rom NEVER flash a radio with .51. in the code.
still haven't seen anyone recover from this. if anyone has please let me know.
Damn it captain!!!!!!
I just got it on the 24th shhhhhhhh....... ummm i just will take it to TMOBILE i hope i can get an other one, they may not have one in stock or they WONT give me another. i will see as soon as the store opens.
Sorry to hear about people's problems. Just remember if you have TMobile
USA there is NOT a way to flash another rom onto the phone..Just give it time the wonderful folks here are working on it. If your still in your 14 day grace period just return the phone to the store and play dumb. You might
have to wait for another phone since apparently they did not anticipate
how many people wanted this phone and sold out quickly. I know I was there
at 6:30 and the second in line and they only had 5!
Anyway, the most important thing you can do here is DO a search!
I KILL my htc hd2 (BRICKED)
BUT I have flashed roms into Tmobiles htc hd2 like TOUCH_X_TREME_23549_TMOUS_2_30_5_49 among others and they worked! i was just try different ones and i PICKED and I BRICKED!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry? sure about that? seems to me lots of people have successfully flashed their tmous hd2.
It only goes wrong if you
1 - flash a rom based on anything less than 2.10 rom
or
2 - flash a radio with ..51.. in the version number.

When I take it back do you think tmobile can they tell if i flashed a rom?

possibly, however its worth a try, there are other people that have reported they got it exchanged. the worst theu can do is send you it back un fixed. They can't keep it and make you pay for the fix.

Shamely going back to tmobile on wed
I went to tmobile last friday they tried to turn it on, pushing reset and taking out the battery so they put me on a list for this coming wed. I still got the bricked one with me they told me to bring it in for a trade. i have tried everything to turn it on but the screen remains BLACK. so i got a BLACK BRICK!!!
Any more ideas?

I do not see a little red button under the back cover. I am in the US, just bought phone, slightly used of course, no warranty. It suddenly went dead this afternoon while charging, will sometimes try to power up but will just keep flashing that one screen "stick together" over and over.....
Tried another battery, same thing.

Mine is doing the same thing . . . in the US, the reset button is right next to the SD card slot, and it's yellow. Mine wouldn't come on Friday, and I started a web chat with Tmobile to see if they would exchange it, and then it just came back on. They said as long as the white sticker at the top of the battery compartment is still white (proving you didn't get it wet), then they will exchange it. It worked fine for me the rest of the weekend (AFTER I did a hard reset, and got it running great!!). This morning, I locked it while running MobiTV, then I couldn't unlock it, so I pulled the battery. That was 2 hours ago, and it still won't come on . . .
If it doesn't come on before I leave work, I'm taking it to Tmobile tonight!!
UPDATED 20 minutes later: Just came on . . . no rhyme or reason why?? Just started after MULTIPLE times of taking out and putting back battery, SIM, and SD card. Got the same error that I've been getting the last couple months on reboots (services.exe)?? When I did a CleanRAM, it free'd up 3.36MB . . . so SOMETHING was hung up, but nothing was running in the task manager??
Generally, few task managers show what's really going on with the phone's memory. Use an advanced task manager which will allow you to control the actual processes running on your device, Google for the names of those which seem to cause mischief and terminate them (if possible) or try to find a solution.

Hey I am also Tmobile User and I have flashed a few ROMS luckily I have not Bricked my phone (knock on wood.) I was just wondering how your return went? I have insurance on mine and figured I would just take it back if that happened. I just didn't know if that would work? Did you ever get a new one
Another update . . . used my phone all afternoon, and tried to charge it, and it wouldn't charge??? Luckily, my husband has the same phone, so I checked his with the same charger. Compared the two phones, and the prongs that hit the battery were bent back. I folded them back down, and now it can charge again. Makes me wonder if that is the problem with the phone not coming back on? Maybe putting the battery back in so that it wasn't hitting the prongs has been keeping it from turning back on . . .
I swapped my Vibrant out at BestBuy with one that has Download/Recovery mode, so its now time to play.
Which lag fix and root procedures work with the Bell Vibrant? Also which Firmware is compatible?
AllGamer...since you seem to be the "guy" to talk to about the Bell Vibrant, do you want to start a sticky thread, one that lays out which fixes/root/firmwares are compatible with our phone?
i will be buying a Bell Vibrant very soon, so i just wan to know how can you tell it has the recovery feature?
Hold down Home+VolumeDown+Power. It will boot up into a screen with a yellow yield sign and say "Download mode".
Mine doesn't have it so im going back to exchange.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Want to hear a funny story?
I was in my Bell store today, seeing if they had any accessories in for the Vibrant yet. My sales rep was there, and we started talking about the device, unlocking, modding, etc.
He mentioned they had five returns since Monday regarding the download and recovery mode issue they swapped out on the DOA plan. Guess there's a lot of modders in the downtown Vancouver area.
I asked him if they still had any of those returns, he said yep, they had all of them, they hadn't been processed out of the store yet. He brought a couple out, and I fired them up, did the download keypress and fired them up. Repeated this process for four working phones in total, the fifth was well and truly dead.
Guess what?
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WENT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.
EVERY
SINGLE
ONE
So did all the demonstration models.
I'll leave it to you to figure out the moral of this story.

Maybe some people don't know how to do it properly, but when I was bringing my SGS in for replacement, I had no problems popping the demo phone into recovery and download modes Just wouldn't work with mine and the one they let me try out of the box. Ended up heading to Future Shop and couldn't get either of their 2 available phones to work.
Hopefully local stores have got another batch in stock.

Pwr+Home+Vol- for download, switch vol+ and vol- for recovery. Power on with all 3 kept pressed, then let go of the pwr button before it loops another reboot. Or at least that's how I did it.
It took me a few tries to get it to work.
Now I don't have a problem.
I'm sure all those returns will simply go into the exchange pile.
This phone is freaking sweet !

Ah i see. mine is working.
Coming from an HTC Touch, the key difference is you could initiate the bootloader mode WHILE the phone was running. This process requires the phone to first be off.

Talking about how to activate the recovery/download thing. What I read (and what worked for me) was when the samsung logo appears on screen, let go of the power button for like half a second then hold it again. Worked flawlessly for me!
I rooted mine in-store while waiting for the paperwork to be finished.

you should have opened a new topic, instead of lapping onto another one.
lag fix has nothing to do with the recovery mode
you can install the lag fix without being able to get into recovery mode
does that answer your question?
I have a Galaxy S as shipped by Bell Canada. It doesn't have the 3 button download mode so I'm staying away from 3rd party roms for now.
It is unlocked and rooted. All has been well until today. I had it off for a while to use the SIM in another phone. When I turned it back on it asked for the SIM unlock code. I Dismissed that and checked the phone, all seemed well other than no SIM activation. I turned it off and removed the SIM and now it won't boot. I get the usual logo, the song, and for a long time the S logo. If I wait long enough it then appears to be off. If I press the back or menu key they will light up but that's it. I can't do anything else other than pull the battery.
I tried the hard reset with holding volume down and tap the power button. That only turns it back on with the same problem. The actual SIM is fine and working in another phone.
Is there anything I can do? If I could hard reset it I'd take it back to the store but I hesitate for now while it still contains my data.
this is a problem i have just posted about a couple of mins ago
but i can get it recovery mode and fatory reset with the vol up, home and power
then it will boot but obviously i have to then reset everything from scratch which is really annoying so anyone got any idea re this
lucky for you that you can get into recovery. Right now I'd be happy with a hard reset, it doesn't take long to rebuild the setup. I'd like to know who decided to remove the recovery mode, that's evil and keeps me from simply resetting the device.
its all the apps re downloading and installing them and resetting up accounts and swype and all that lot need a fix asap
do you know what version of andoid you are running
yes but at least you can get a working phone again, I can't without being able to get into any boot menus. Honestly it only takes 30 minutes to setup again from scratch. I'm on 2.1 and what I find at least on my HTC when it had 2.1 is that I setup the google account, let it sync contacts etc, then from Market Downloads I'll see listed all my apps that were previously installed. As long as I don't leave that screen I can install each app one after the other. Or a proper backup....
Any other magic key combos to reset this thing???
did you try hooking up to kies?
Yes but that does nothing since it never fully boots.

Same thing happened to my phone, but a factory reset did nothing. The internal SD card gave out. Phone is now sent away for 3 - 6 weeks awaiting repair.
my phone did this to me today too, I was just about to post about this when I saw this thread.
So its an SD Card problem? theres no hope of getting it fixed without sending it in?
Yes I think it is the internal card meaning there isn't anything good enough to reset to. I walked the phone over to the store and I'll have to wait for new stock next week. Actually I'm lucky they will exchange it since I bought it outright which apparently is "against policy" even though they list a no contract full price. We'll see how it goes next week but overall I despise the telco industry in this country.

i went to best buy today to try and exchange it, and apparently they only have a 14 day exchange policy with phones despite it saying 30 day on the receipt, anyhow i phoned samsung and they said i have to go through bell, even though im using the phone on telus, so that should be interesting.
So all the people that are having this problem have the Bell model?
Today i got mine off eBay, as soon a i turned it on, i get exactly the same thing.
It wont load into Android, i see that galaxy S logo and then black screen.
If i go into recovery i see "cant mount SD Card".
The more is search this forum the more i see that all the people with this problem are owners of the Bell i9000M model.
I seriously think they have some defect with the manufacturing line of the phone.
Have you guys installed any firmware on your phone before this happened?
mine is like that out of the box.
Mine is the same Bell model. There seems to be some issues with them which makes the lack of download mode even more dangerous. Right now it doesn't feel like the warranty is going to cover us for problems not our fault. I hope they replace it next week but if it still lacks download mode I'll remain nervous.
Seems like everyone is with the Bell model but my questions is:
Have you guys installed another firmware than the factory one which caused this to happen?
Are you running Stock?
We need to try and narrow this down as i am seeing too many posts about this issue, and they are with the Bell model.

i put new firmware on it last week, can't remember what it was but it was upgraded through kies so it's one samsung pushed to me, not a froyo unstable one.

I haven't flashed any 3rd party roms. I did do the official update via Keis which even at the store today they reminded me that I should do the update.. That update seemed to go well and has been working for over a week until I turned it off for an hour. It still isn't clear if the disabled 3 button mode is hardware or software related but we all seem to have that in common too. So before they dismiss the whole thing and we get hosed over technicalities such as unlocking it should be clear that there are clear defects in these phones as far as I can tell.
I want to be comfortable that I'm not left out of hundred of dollars just because I choose to buy it outright and not be tied to contracts. Samsung has to play nicely because it is their phone. Bell has to play nicely because they are bringing them in and distributing to retail. What carrier I use should be irrelevant because the problems are not related to usage.
FYI, the clerks went off for conference to decide if I somehow got the phone against policy. Either they trust my story or I got mine moments before they got the memo about not selling outright.

Same here, stock JH2 from Kies. Not rooted. Boots to Galaxy S logo, then black screen. Mine is sent in for repair... Almost two weeks now.
Seeing more and more of this being posted. There is obviously some issues with this phone.

Our posts crossed..
Yes I believe mine had the JH2, the official keis offered firmware. I was looking forward to the biggie update at the end of the month so wasn't about to risk bricking before then. Irony stepped in anyway.
I'm a bit nervous until I get a new one. At that point if the 3 button mode still doesn't work I'll remain nervous that I'll get another potential brick.
edit-> yes, I simply shut it down for an hour or two to use the SIM in another phone to test that phone. At next boot it died. I knew something was wrong when the logo stayed up for much longer.
I have the 3 buttons enabled so it is not related to the 3buttons being disabled, however when i boot into recovery it clearly displays an error that it can not find the internal SD.
There is definitely something wrong with the Bell Galaxy S corrupting itself.
I bought mine from an eBay seller, he is saying the phone booted fine when he shipped it but when i opened the box today i only got this black screen after logo.
Gladly the seller will take it back.
Maybe this is why there are shortages everywhere in Canada. I hope the caught this up and are fixing it with the new batch.
i was updating my vibrant phone in kies and i thought the file was still being downloaded when i received a call.
i took the call and got off as soon as possible.
when the installation finished it started to reboot but never made it and i have not been able to get any kind of start-up screen at all.
i am totally bricked.
before the update i was able to get into download mode but no more.
no two button or three button combos work.
i am leaving the battery out all night and will try again tomorrow but i am not hopeful.
moral of the story is take out the damn sim card when updating so as not to screw up the download.
sigh.
anyone have any ideas what to do with the boat anchor besides trying to talk t-mobile into taking it back.
Same thing happened to me a while back.
the only way of resurrecting your phone if its COMPLETELY bricked is to use a JIG box... Google it... Otherwise its basically paperweight and if you have insurance call it in lost or stolen.
You corrupted the bootloader.
all the jig boxes say they get the phone into download mode.
however one of the ebay vendors says:
If your phone screen is always black, turn it on and if it stays completely black, then sorry, but NO USB jig will help you.
so i don't understand how the jig will help me since i cannot get any response from the phone at all.
how is the jig wired.
do you know.
thanks.

You can try the jig it may work for you connextion2005 sells for 8 bucks. You can try to push the bootloader through adb, don;t know you exact situation. If those don't work then you could return it and clam under warranty that the it got jacked up when updating on Kies, and get a new phone. (refurbished one probably)
Good luck
This happened to me a while ago and i could not get into recovery or download mode at all. I did the search on the forums, and there was a way to get it back into download mode. Just search it and it might work for you. i'm sorry i don't remember the method itself but good luck.
EDIT: this is not it, but try the "no-boot method"

I've never used kies just like I never used activesync .
the no boot method didn't work for me.
i will probably try the jig method one of these days but i don't have much hope for that either.
airplane mode is a good idea when updating..
should be mentioned more often.
what do people use instead of kies for updating and backups.
thanks
i made my own jig with a 301k resistor and a usb connector and there was no joy.
i think i am dead in the water.
i am thinking of getting a phone with a broken screen and swapping out the screens.
is that a tough job?
I did some searching around to find some answers related to these problems, but was unable to find anything so my apologies if this has been answered before.
Anyway, I've had my atrix for about 2.5 weeks now (through Bell) and twice now the screen has shut off, and I am unable to turn it back on. Swiping the fingerprint sensor or pressing the button on the top does absolutely nothing. Both times I've had to pull the back off and take the battery out to restart it, and then the phone works just fine.
My other problem is that when I connect my hdmi to my tv, the motorola logo shows up briefly (on the tv) for 2-3 seconds, then it disappears. The controls to navigate through my videos are there on my phone, but nothing displays on the tv. It worked before on my friend's tv the first day I got the phone, but apparently something is wrong.
Basically what I'm wondering is: is my phone defective? Am I able to fix these problems myself? Will an update to 2.3 (apparently coming out in July) fix these problems? Or should I just go back to the bell store and get a new phone. I'm wanting to try out rooting the phone to get rid of motoblur (which apparently increases speed and battery life) but if I'm going to have to return the phone anyway then I'll wait a few days.
Just to clarify, I have a motorola atrix from Bell. I guess there are a few differences between it and the one you get from AT&T.
Thanks!

It sounds defected, since you cannot turn the screen back on. I've never experienced that. I'd say just swap it for another if you can.
Yeah I've heard of a few glitchy/buggy things happening but this sounded to me like a defect for sure.
I'll head down to Bell on monday and get it taken care of.
As just another question on the side, I've been reading about hacking/modding/whatever you want to call it for the atrix and it sounds like fun! Are we able to unlock our bootloaders on Bell or is that just AT&T?

I think it's for AT&T only, sorry. There is a progressive thread on unlocking it, though.
